We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky. We're casual, conversational, NSFW and hopefully interesting. We hope you enjoy it.

Sometimes I Just Don't Understand

halo3egg.jpg

Throughout the day Chris Furniss, the inimitable overlord of all things weekly and geekly in nature, will jabber at me incessantly through the aetheric void of the tubes. Most of the time our conversation is limited to an unintelligible hooting and keyboard mashing the likes of which could only be the result of an epileptic seizure. However, occasionally one or the other of us will manage something that could possibly be construed as sensical or even literate most of the time these are simply links or a quote from those far greater than ourselves.

When Chris sent me the link to the above image exclaiming, "OMG EPICLULZ D00D" I was of course immediately suspicious. We had played this game before, and assuming that my threats of physical violence if he sent me another LOLcat had gone heeded I clicked. For a moment I wondered if perhaps this was like some Magic Eye image, that I would need a moment for what I was truly supposed to see to sink in. Nope, that is not the case. Apparently it's pretty hilarious that you're able to flip an Elephant (one of the big machines you fly around and shoot kittens or walruses or dragons with or something in Halo 3).

Thinking that perhaps my humor module needs to be replaced I have decided to turn to you my gentle Geeks. Please, someone explain why it is funny that I can flip a gigantic tank while in the Forge. A mysterious prize will be awarded for the best answer, seriously.
